Just 4 ingredients make these Easy Valentine Cookies an absolute breeze to make. Simply bring the ingredients together, roll and bake. From me with love.
Put 250 grams butter, 150 grams caster sugar and 350 grams plain flour in a free standing mixer, mixing bowl or food processor and mix.
Mix together until you get a shaggy dough thing going on.
Add the valentine sprinkles. Mix together. If using a food processor then tip into a mixing bowl and mix together by hand
Knead and squeeze it together with your hands either tipped out onto the work surface or in the bowl. Keep kneading until it becomes soft and sticks together completely.
Tip out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll the smooth dough out to about 1 cm thick.
Cut out your heart shapes. I get about 18 and bake in two batches but it will depend on your size of cutter.
Transfer to your baking tray. I use a fish slice here.
Bake for about 12 minutes or until slightly golden at the edges.
Remove carefully after a few minutes out of the oven onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Apply To Valentine Face.
Notes
If your mixture gets too soft chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Make your biscuits ahead and chill covered in the fridge until you want to bake them just add a few more minutes to the baking time.
Only allow to colour a little when baking or they will be overbaked.
Use a fish slice to carefully remove from your baking tray.
